transvestite is a man who dresses up as a woman tranny is offensive and a slur not as simple as just being a contraction ive given you a number of alternatives and explanations yet you refuse to take anyone elses ideas on board tbh considering you didnt know any other alternatives to tranny its laughable that you think you have any authority to speak on its meaning or implications having said my part im backing out of the convo as i can tell youre ignorance is wilful and you show no desire to learn alternatives or listen to viewpoints other than your own on this subject peace
